Huffington Post: Netanyahu Glares At UN Members For 45 Seconds To Protest Iran Deal
"Utter silence. Deafening silence."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave U.N. leaders the silent treatment during his speech on Thursday to protest the Iran nuclear deal.
Lashing out at the U.N. General Assembly, which gathered in New York this week for its annual meeting, Netanyahu gave the body a stern glare for full 45 seconds.
WNU Editor: During Israeli PM Netanyahu's speech the U.S. ambassador to the UN and and US Sec. fo State John Kerry were no shows. But the U.S. delegates that were present did something that caught a few people's attention .... they limited their applause for Netanyahu (see below video).
Am I surprised by this .... no. When I worked at the UN I always noticed that delegates of all countries were always unsure of how to respond to an issue when their "bosses or bosses" were present .... so their default mode was to always stand there and look blankly in the air. Even if Netanyahu had stood and said that we should all be against killing puppies and kittens .... many of these delegates would not respond.
